A slow, mindful and interoceptive practice that aims at expanding the awareness on all the levels of our being. The practice combines yoga asanas, natural/primal movement, functional and strengthening exercises, tension release techniques and movements that arise for each individual in their own way. The class completes with meditation and a long relaxation. Expect to be continuously invited to feel, sense and move from and through your inner body. Sometimes you follow the instructions, other times you let your unique body inquire into its own unique needs and take the lead. You explore and utilize your relationship with space and gravity. You play with different ways in which you can awaken fluidity and ease not only in the body and breath but also in the mind. By becoming conscious of your deep primal inner connections you find new source of support. Your body begins to release the unnecessary tension and each movement becomes an opportunity for a total body-mind-spirit integration.

This is an open class. You can drop in 15 min before start. Please have a look at our schedule for possible replacements. During holidays we have a different schedule.

More about Maja´s teaching:

Maja´s method integrates different styles of yoga as she:

- combines dynamism with meditative and mindful approach to asana,- teaches detailed and concrete alignment techniques in a way that students can comprehend and apply- links movement with inner awareness, and- always inspires students to approach yoga as a way of life.

She is most interested in exploring the ways in which physical practice, breath, mind observation and yoga philosophy can all be combined and used in everyday challenges that life presents.

In Maja’s classes, the practice of yoga and life itself become one and the same. Yoga becomes a tool for healing all human relationships, including the relationship with oneself. It contributes to the emotional maturity of the individual and brings about the spiritual elevation and growth of the collective.

Maja Zilih (E-RYT 500), a founder of Maya Yoga and Athens Yoga Center, currently living and teaching in Vienna, Austria, teaches yoga and educates yoga teachers on both basic and advanced levels.

Maja is a passionate explorer of yoga as a process of growth. She is most interested in ways that physical alignment, breath attention, mental observation and yoga philosophy can all be combined to help us navigate through life's challenges more skillfully and more efficiently. She aims at raising an understanding that yoga is here to equip us with strength and strategies that we need in order to unfold the process of healing the relationship with ourselves, with others and with the planet.

Maja's teaching method combines effort and dynamism with mindful approach to asana, along with detailed alignment strategies in a comprehensive and applicable way. She always inspires students to discover and unleash their true potential.

Maja's note: The outside world is merely a reflection of our inner state. Increasingly integrating (the seemingly scattered) parts of the self through yoga practices, we begin to see the profound connections and interdependence everywhere we look. From the separation dream we gradually wake up to the fact that our individual spiritual growth is both contributing to, and strongly dependent on the degree of the evolution of the collective. Whether through meditation, mindful asana practice, aware and respectful parenting, acts of self-nurture, being in service to the underprivileged, or through simple random acts of kindness, yoga truly comes alive when the context behind our actions is a desire to contribute to the elevation of the consciousness level of the humanity as a whole.
